7/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, soft, 9/1) 56 days ago. This step up in trip promises to suit now handicapping and he's worth considering.

Forecasts

Palmezzano (3/1), Mister Adam (7/2), Nuit (5/1), Berto Ramirez (8/1), Drucker (8/1), Happiest (9/1), Junkyard Dog (12/1), Booklight (14/1), Heishybrid (14/1), Green Asset (25/1), Lily Parr (25/1)

The vote goes to MISTER ADAM, who was doing his best work at the finish when third in a big-field 1m maiden at the Curragh in March and it's likely that he'll be seen in a better light now faced with a stiffer test on this handicap debut. Drucker left his maiden form well behind when making a winning handicap debut over 10.7f at Dundalk and, with a 5 lb rise fair and this trip likely to be within range, he will be a threat if reproducing that form back on turf. Palmezzano is another to consider.
